Watch: $2,000,000,000 stealth bomber flying over Kansas Speedway ahead of NASCAR playoff race

NASCAR has always made a point to put on the best show for its viewers, be it in the form of on-track racing, or off-track activities.

Greeting race fans to an overall experience that is a Cup Series race, the main event is often flocked by various other attractions leading up to the point when the green flag drops and drivers get to their business.

One of the oldest traditions before going racing is the recital of the national anthem of the United States of America, which is followed by the drivers getting in their cars.

Along with the anthem, a customary flyover is often seen over the venue, with the armed forces putting on a show for the spectators.

Last Sunday's (September 10) Hollywood Casino 400 saw a Northrop Grumman B2 Spirit, otherwise known as the B-2 Stealth Bomber, fly over Kansas Speedway.

As the drivers prepared to fire up their engines on the grand marshal's command, the $2 billion military aircraft was on display above everyone's heads.

Check out the video here:

Developed by the aerospace and defense organization Northrop Grumman, only 21 examples of the B-2 bomber were ever manufactured. With only 20 remaining as of now, NASCAR fans were among the few people who ever got to see this exclusive machine in action.
